The model number and manufacturing date code are located on a metal plate on the rear of the cabinet. Products with an “Arbor Inspected” sticker directly above the plate or an orange square on the outside of the package are not included in the recall.

   Sold exclusively at: Home Depot stores nationwide from January 2009 through July 2009 for about $600.
